Parking dispute holds up next downtown project

Redevelopment officials hope to resolve a dispute over parking by the end of next month to get the next downtown project under way, which could impact another development on the drawing board.

Executive Director Leonard Bier said he’s hopeful an outstanding lawsuit could be resolved in the next 30 to 45 days (before the end of February). “We’re close, I’m hoping to resolve those issues,” he said, briefing commissioners during the Jan. 6 Redevelopment Agency meeting.
